MSFS VR Cape to Cairo Cessna 152 Ep. 01: Humble Beginnings

I had this idea a while ago to go on a realistic journey from Cape Town to Cairo in a small plane without using any GPS or markers in the simulator. We will be using LittleNavMap and VORs to plan our routes. The modified Cessna 152 does have DME (distance measurement equipment), which will come handy where available.

Going to split the series up into unedited videos with timestamps to allow you to take the journey with me.

In this first leg, we go from Cape Town (FACT) international to Langebaanweg (FALW), which is an Airforce base if I'm not mistaken.

I am not a pilot or pilot in training, so don't take any of this as instruction. Purely for entertainment. I will be making many mistakes, but feel free to point them out in the comments.
